The samurai and the knight had his origins in military and economic need. His role was as a warrior, and like the samurai in some cases he was little more than a thug rewarded for his viciousness. But if a knight was to succeed, he had to take his role in the military seriously. Furthermore, like the samurai of Japan as time went on, success required more than brawn: it required loyalty to his liege-lord in society as well as strategy and ingenuity on the battlefield. Born of Noble blood and…

One of the most influential game developers of our time is Shigeru Miyamoto, a native of Japan who has been making iconic video game franchises through Nintendo since the 1970’s.

Anime and video games are two subjects that play an important role in both eastern and western popular culture. The ascension of both anime and video games into popular culture originated first in Japan, and eventually their influence spread across the globe.

This is a…

The Giga Impact of the NES After I was prompted to write an essay about an important event in history I decided to go to an event that helped shape the world, yet barely anybody realizes how much of an impact it had on the world, the release of the NES.

Any other of the main designers of Microsoft, (Microsoft created Xbox.) Sony (creators of the play station consoles), and any other main video game companies. • What do I expect to be the most…

Racism Racism has been used as a powerful weapon encouraging fear or hatred of others all around the world. Many people face obstacles in their lives because of racism and many people don’t realize we are all the same person on the inside.
